ROSETTE-MAKING METHOD.

Application filed June 20,

This invention relates to a method of forming rosettes from braid orribbon, the object of the invention being to provide an adhesive forfastening the braid or ribbon in the form of a rosette so that the useof wire and the like is eliminated.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawing, wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which V Figurel is a diagrammatic plan view showing how the adhesive is applied to thecord before the same is formed into a rosette.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing how the treated cord or braid is runfrom a reel into the forming machine.

Figure 3 is a plan view of a rosette formed in accordance with thisinvention.

Figure 4 is a side view of Figure 3.

Referring to Figure 1, 1 indicates a reel which contains the braid orribbon 2 and 3 indicates a pair of spool supporting members which carrythe threads 4. These threads and the ribbon pass through a specialsewing machine A where the ribbon is formed into loops and the threadsare stitched into the ribbon to hold it in loops to form the braid Bwhich is shown as passing from the machine A. This braid is wound upon areel R. The braid is then taken from the reel R and passed through aforming machine C which forms the rosette shown at D in Fig- 1927.Serial No. 200,148.

ures 3 and 4. This method and means of forming rosettes is Well knownand forms no part of my invention, but my invention consists in treatingthe stitched edge of the braid as it passes from the sewing machine tothe reel, with adhesive material as shown at 5, this material beingpreferably applied 40 by means of a roller 6 mounted on a base 7 overwhich the braid passes. After the adhesive material has dried, the braidor cord is run through the forming machine which forms the rosette andas the cord is being turned and looped upon itself, the pressure appliedto the same will cause the adhesive material to adhere to the partagainst which it is pressed and thus the braid or cord will be held inrosette form.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

\Vhat I claim is The herein described method of forming v JOHN E. DISCH.
